348: Chapter 348: Nutritious Feast 348: Chapter 348: Nutritious Feast Zhang Xiaoxi looked at Tangyu, his serious expression indicated that he was not joking at all.
“What should I do?” Zhang Xiaoxi suddenly felt like a helpless girl.
Tangyu pointed to his own nose and said, “I am a doctor, I can diagnose your illness, so naturally, I have a way to cure it.”
Zhang Xiaoxi took a look at Tangyu and said, “Why are you so kind, do you have some ulterior motive?
Tell me first, what are your conditions, or how much money do you want?”
“Uh—” Tangyu was speechless.
Is this how she sees him?
Even as colleagues, why would she speak in such a hurtful manner?
In these times, it’s easy to do bad things but difficult to do good things because people always doubt you.
Huangfu Jing said, “Xiaoxi, you’re misunderstanding Tangyu.
He’s not that kind of person.
When he treated me, I really wanted to thank him but he wouldn’t even accept it.
If he wants to treat you, he’s not after anything from you.
Even if you don’t give him a cent, he will still treat you.”
Tangyu nodded, gave Huangfu Jing a smile, still this beauty was understanding and sensible.
“There’s still such a good thing?
It sounds a bit unreal.
If my illness is really as serious as you say, and if you ask for a million, that wouldn’t be too much.
It’s strange, you don’t charge money to treat Sister Jing, even if you asked her for ten million she would comply, yet you turn down such a lucrative opportunity.
Your motives really make one suspicious.” Zhang Xiaoxi said.
Tangyu was speechless again; a too clever woman is actually kind of foolish, too stubborn.
“Alright, if you must think that way, then pretend I never said anything.” Tangyu said, not liking to do things by coercion.
Even the Buddha preaches letting things be natural.
Miracles not just fall from the sky, not everyone will encounter such opportunities.
“Tangyu, Xiaoxi is young and naive, if you can cure her, please treat her.
Consider this a favor you’re doing for me.” Huangfu Jing said.
“I offer medical treatment based on my likings.
For those I want to treat, I ask for no money.
For those I don’t want to treat, not even a billion could persuade me.
You might think I’m showing off, but that’s the truth.
If Zhang Xiaoxi thinks I have ill intentions, then I absolutely won’t insist.
After all, it wasn’t me who asked her to let me treat her, right?” Tangyu said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoxi said, “Don’t be so petty, I was just saying that after all this seems too good to be true, I must be cautious.
I’d actually find it easier to accept if you wanted money.
If you do want money, you can name your price, I mean it seriously.”
“I don’t want it.” Tangyu said.
“No one would laugh at you for changing your mind now, after all, it is perfectly normal to charge for medical treatments.” Zhang Xiaoxi said.
“I really don’t want it.” Tangyu was not convinced, changing his stance now would just invite silent contempt from others.
Besides, a million had no allure for Tangyu.
Treating a beauty without charge has always been his rule, and naturally, that rule was not to be broken.
Of course, if you insist on showing gratitude, Tangyu would accept it, committing yourself as thanks, Tangyu definitely wouldn’t refuse — whoever refuses is a fool.
“Alright then, it’s agreed and witnessed by Sister Jing.
Go ahead and treat me, shall we start now?” Zhang Xiaoxi finally nodded in agreement.
“Yes, we can start now.” Tangyu said.
After speaking, he looked at Huangfu Jing and said, “I might need to borrow your quarters.”
“Sure.” Huangfu Jing nodded and signaled Brother Qing.
“Wait, we need to go to a room?” Zhang Xiaoxi added.
“Yes, I cannot be disturbed while treating, and I don’t like others being present, so we must go to a room.” Tangyu nodded.
Zhang Xiaoxi blinked, “And there can’t be anyone else present?”
“Miss Huangfu Jing and Brother Qing are here, what could you possibly fear I would do to you?” Tangyu said.
“I guess that’s true, alright.” Zhang Xiaoxi thought about it and nodded.
The two entered the guest room, Tangyu locked the door from the inside, and told Brother Qing to make sure no one disturbed them.
Zhang Xiaoxi looked at the bed and said, “Do I need to lie on the bed?”
You don’t have to, you can sit in that chair.
Of course, if you prefer lying down, that would be better.
After all, your body will be fully relaxed when lying down, which makes it easier for me to treat you.” Tangyu replied.
This scenario, a man and a woman alone in a room, lying on a bed.
Zhang Xiaoxi thought it over but decided to refuse, looking at the recliner, “I’ll just lie on this reclining chair.”
“That’s fine.” Tangyu nodded.
Since this treatment didn’t require undressing, sitting or lying down were both fine.
Once Zhang Xiaoxi was lying down, Tangyu came beside her and said, “I’m going to hypnotize you now, cooperate with me and fully relax.”
Hearing about being hypnotized, Zhang Xiaoxi became wary again, glaring at Tangyu, “Why do you need to hypnotize me?
Once I’m hypnotized, won’t I be unconscious, and couldn’t you do whatever you want then?”
“…”
“I’m not that kind of person,” Tangyu said earnestly.
“I barely know you, and this is only the second time we’ve met.
I don’t understand you, how can I believe you when you say you’re not like that?
You brought me to the room as soon as I arrived and even wanted to hypnotize me, how can I believe you have no ulterior motives?” Zhang Xiaoxi argued.
“So what do you want?” Tangyu was at a loss for words.
Zhang Xiaoxi said, “I don’t want to be hypnotized.
I want to stay alert at all times, that way you won’t be able to take advantage of me.
I am beautiful, after all, and I’m quite confident in my allure.”
“That won’t work, I have to hypnotize you to treat you, otherwise I can’t heal you.
If you’re not comfortable with that, then let’s forget it,” Tangyu shook his head.
“Then forget it.” Zhang Xiaoxi stood up to leave the room, and Tangyu did not stop her.
Forcefully harvested melons aren’t sweet, after all; life wasn’t in danger here, it wasn’t urgent.
Love it or leave it, maybe she would come back and beg for it later.
Zhang Xiaoxi reached the door and stopped when she didn’t hear Tangyu say anything.
She turned around and looked at him, “Are you really not going to treat me?”
“…Isn’t it you who didn’t want me to?” Tangyu replied.
“Fine—I believe you again.
Go ahead and hypnotize me; I don’t believe you’d dare do anything improper to me,” Zhang Xiaoxi declared.
“…” Tangyu wanted to say, if you didn’t want to be treated then not treated, and if you wanted treatment, then treated, really treating him like he’s so easygoing.
If you decide you want treatment, I wouldn’t refuse.
But, he didn’t utter these words.
With women, he was destined to be at a disadvantage.
When it came to beauties, Tangyu could afford to be magnanimous.
Subsequently, Zhang Xiaoxi cooperated quite well, and after 20 minutes of effort, Tangyu finally succeeded in hypnotizing her deeply.
Actually, Tangyu could have treated her without hypnosis, but there were some things he preferred to keep to himself.
“These years, I’ve always been searching for poison bodies, but alas, I’ve only found one and a half.
Well, having nurtured this poison for so many years, it should serve as a nutritious feast for the Flame Demon Scorpion King,” Tangyu mused as he looked at Zhang Xiaoxi.
Observing her peaceful deep sleep, her beautiful and compelling face, and her camel hump-like breasts invoked an indecent thought in Tangyu’s mind.
Right now, to kiss her, to touch her, surely no trace would be left.
Tangyu touched his nose: “Did she really hit the mark?
I can’t help but harbor some improper thoughts towards her?
That’s unreasonable; I’m not a pervert.”
He shook his head, Tangyu decided not to overthink and resumed a serious expression.
With a breath, a spurt of flame burst from Tangyu’s mouth.
Immediately, his palm revealed a bizarre-looking, fiery scorpion.
Tangyu had used the Flame Demon Scorpion King once before; it was known as the king of all scorpions and was considered one of the most poisonous beings currently known in the world.
Only two or three other things could rival it, and those creatures lived in primitive forests, undiscovered by the world.
This Flame Demon Scorpion King was discovered deep in Changbai Mountain, Shennongjia, by Tangyu and his master; they had expended considerable effort to subdue it.
Unfortunately, it had a long growth cycle.
Tangyu had been raising it for three years, and it was still in its juvenile stage.
Tangyu always kept it inside his body, constantly using Pure Yang Qi to help it grow, and now the Flame Demon Scorpion King had grown nearly twice as large as when it was first captured, and it wasn’t far from reaching maturity.
“Chirp chirp—”, the Flame Demon Scorpion King’s antennae trembled in the air, barely visible to the naked eye, producing a few cheerful sounds.
Tangyu affectionately touched the Flame Demon Scorpion King, “I’ve prepared a nutritious feast for you, enjoy your meal.” He then opened Zhang Xiaoxi’s mouth, and the Flame Demon Scorpion King, excited, transformed into a blaze of fire and shot directly into her body.
Ten minutes later, the Flame Demon Scorpion King emerged as a beam of light, landing back on Tangyu’s palm.
It clearly looked fatter than before, with a hint of blackness on its body.
“Enjoyed your meal?
However, there was little poison, it only made you half-full.
It seems you still need some time to reach maturity,” Tangyu said.
“Chirp chirp—” The Flame Demon Scorpion King seemed to understand Tangyu’s words.
“Go rest.” With a breath, the Flame Demon Scorpion King obediently flew into Tangyu’s mouth.
Tangyu looked at Zhang Xiaoxi, still sleeping peacefully; the toxins in her body were completely eliminated.
As long as she was careful in the future, she could remain unharmed by toxins.
Tangyu snapped his fingers near Zhang Xiaoxi’s ear, a sound magical in its timbre, and she immediately opened her eyes, looked at Tangyu, and after checking that her body felt normal, she asked, “Is it cured?”
“Yes, it’s done, you’re fine now.
Try not to take medicine, avoid medicinal herbs, and stay away from toxic substances in the future.
Just be a little careful, and you should be fine,” Tangyu nodded.
Zhang Xiaoxi got up, feeling rejuvenated and immensely comfortable, not sensing any discomfort.
“It does feel much better, you are quite capable indeed.
How long did it take?” Zhang Xiaoxi inquired.
“Forty or fifty minutes, I guess,” Tangyu replied.
“Ah, that long?
Let’s hurry up and go,” Zhang Xiaoxi exclaimed and rushed out the door, Tangyu shook his head with a smile and followed.
This girl, still fearful I’d take advantage of her.
Huangfu Jing held Zhang Xiaoxi, looked her over, and nodded, “Your complexion does look much better than before, and you seem a lot more spirited.”
Hearing Huangfu Jing say this, Zhang Xiaoxi was even more certain she was cured: “Hehe, Tangyu, thank you.”
“Yeah, I’ll take that,” Tangyu laughed.
